I am the carpenter king

The second year of the Apocalypse has passed in this way. It can be said that it has been a year of joy and sorrow. Generally speaking, the government is clear and the state affairs are smooth.Although the national treasury was still empty, Emperor Tianqi's internal treasury was filled.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed in a blink of an eye, and nothing important was said at the court meeting.But after the court meeting, a piece of news made all the officials who were in joy cute, and the cabinet scholar Han Kuang Zhishi was announced.The originally peaceful officialdom has once again caused ripples.

However, the ripples have not yet splashed, and another more shocking news came out, Emperor Tianqi wanted to establish a military aircraft department.Many people were fooled by this new yamen, but after a little inquiring, they were all gasped.

The position of the Military Aircraft Department is the same as that of the cabinet, and the Minister of Military Aircraft has the same responsibilities as the cabinet ministers, but the Military Aircraft Department is in charge of the military.The original military affairs were divided from the cabinet, and all military affairs in the world were discussed by the Military Aircraft Department.The local army was divided into the original sequence of officials, and the promotion and assessment of officers were all discussed by the Ministry of Officials and the Military Aircraft Department.

When such a news came out, the government and the public were shocked immediately, and there were a lot of discussions for a while.There are those who agree with it, and those who oppose it, and so on.However, most of the opponents are rotten Confucians, and more officials of the real do-it-yourself faction agree.Another person who agreed was interested in the official position. After all, the status equal to that of the cabinet bachelor gave hope to many people who had no hope of joining the cabinet.

In the early morning of the first day of February, Emperor Tianqi was in a hurry to discuss the matter of the military affairs of the civil servants above the fourth rank and the military officials above the third rank in Beijing.

"The emperor is here!" Accompanied by Wang Chengen's familiar voice, Emperor Tianqi walked to the back of the Longshu case and sat down, looked at the ministers below with a smile, and said with a smile: "Everyone loves you!"

"Play early if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!" After all the ministers stood up, Wang Chengen on the side shouted with a serious face.

After discussing several things.The hall fell into a brief silence, and everyone knew that something important was coming.But no one spoke, they were all looking around. No one wanted to do this early bird.

Smiling and looking at the ministers below, Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment, and said: "The matter of the Military Aircraft Department has been spread for a few days. It's okay for you dear ministers to say something, after all, it is a major national event, so we must be cautious."

"Your Majesty, I think it's very good!" As soon as Emperor Tianqi's voice fell, Yuan Chonghuan stood up during the military affairs on one side, ignoring the eyes of the people on the other side, and looked at Emperor Tianqi respectfully.

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi pointed to Yuan Chonghuan and said, "It's a good thing if someone speaks up, Yuan Aiqing. Come and listen!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, must be investigated. Since ancient times, military affairs have been the important affairs of the country. The sages said that even if the country is big and warlike, it will perish, and even if the world is peaceful, it will be in danger if it forgets the war. Although the slaves suffered heavy losses, they still caused disasters in Liaodong. The Mongolian Tartars in the northwest border were eyeing them. The emperor is wise. The military plan is really a good strategy, and I think it is imperative." Yuan Chonghuan talked eloquently.A high-spirited look.

Emperor Tianqi nodded. Yuan Chonghuan's appearance was good, and what he said was very reasonable. No wonder Emperor Chongzhen believed Yuan Chonghuan's five-year peace of Liao Dynasty.However, Emperor Tianqi is not Emperor Chongzhen, and whether Yuan Chonghuan is available remains to be seen.

"My lord Yuan, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate! A saint's person is just how important military affairs are to the country, and it is not appropriate to deal with military affairs. The current military system is the ancestral system, and it seems inappropriate to change it. Besides, It involves too much, and I think it should be carefully considered." This time, Yu Datong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up.Looking at Yuan Chonghuan with a smile on his face, what he said was not polite.

"My lord Yu's words are wrong. It seems that there is no need to say that the ancestral system can't be changed. Times change, and how pedantic it is if you don't know how to adapt? The important affairs of the court should be seized with caution. How can it not be taken lightly because of the ancestral system?" Abandoned? In the past, when the Taizu ascended the Great Treasure, he also had the position of prime minister, but after the Hu Weiyong case, the Taizu dismissed the prime minister and set up a cabinet. Why? Probably because the prime minister has too much power, there is no need for an official to explain in detail after his death? "Yuan Chonghuan looked at Yu Datong and said without changing his expression.

Seeing that Datong was about to speak again, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly said: "Let's not talk about the distance, just talk about Zhang Juzheng's reform in the early years of Wanli, which caused the treasury to be full. The establishment of the Shibo Department and the southeast coast no longer suffer from Japanese pirates. This is the result of the reform. Do you turn a blind eye, my lord?" Yuan Chonghuan had a smile on his face, playing tricks, and he really wasn't afraid of anyone.

On the one side, Yu Datong's face was flushed red, he hesitated and said nothing, and Yuan Chonghuan's hats were not small.From Taizu to Wanli, Yu Datong was speechless.

"Master Yuan, no one is sure about the pros and cons of the reform. Why is Mr. Yuan so eloquent? There are many reforms in history, but how many people really succeeded? Reform is not easy, I ask the emperor to think twice!" Yu Datong withdrew After coming down, Zhang Chengyu, the head of the official department on one side, took over and said respectfully.

Yuan Chonghuan wanted to speak, but before she could open her mouth, Yang He, the left governor of the Inspectorate, stood up and said: "Mr. Zhang's words are wrong. It doesn't matter whether the reform succeeds or fails. It is the country's policy at its root. It has come to the point where it has to be reformed. If it is not reformed, the country will not be far away. Regardless of success or failure, reforms must be carried out. Now the military is deserted, soldiers from all over the country are ten to seven, and corruption in the army is serious. It has reached the point where it has to be political. Think back to the time when Taizu established the Dingding Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty’s military flourished, the Mongolian Tartars of the Yuan Dynasty fled in anticipation.”

Looking at everyone's faces, Yang He continued: "Nowadays, the military affairs are decadent, and Liaodong's slavery is so rampant. Don't you adults turn a blind eye to it? Now the emperor is the prosperous Ming army. He changed the Liaodong military system and swept away the decline of Liaodong. Liaodong has won such a great victory. I ask the emperor to set up a military aircraft department, and at the same time change the military system throughout the country, following the example of Liaodong!"

Yang He's words shocked everyone in the hall, no one thought that Yang He would express such an opinion, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall for a while.The establishment of the Military Aircraft Department is already an outrageous move, and now it is actually necessary to reform the entire government system.However, many people also understand that the reform of the military system in Liaodong has been very effective, and it is imperative to implement military system reform.

But there are so many trainee officers now, if the whole country is really restructured, I'm afraid there will be troubles!Many ministers came out to advise, and for a while, the morning court seemed to be a vegetable market, and there was a lot of noise.

Emperor Tianqi sat on the dragon chair with a calm face, looking at the quarreling ministers below, with an indifferent look.After such a long time, Emperor Tianqi has long been used to such an early dynasty.Picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip, Emperor Tianqi knew that the time was almost up.

Snapped!He slapped Long Dan hard, and said loudly: "Shut up, everyone!" With a sound, the hall suddenly fell silent.Emperor Tianqi pointed to the ministers below, and said, "What's the proper way for each of you to read the books of sages, what's the proper way. Is the court hall where you are noisy? Do you think this is a restaurant? You are all drinkers?"

"The emperor forgives the sin, and the minister deserves to die!" This scene was not new at all, and the ministers naturally knew how to cooperate, and quickly knelt down on the ground.But most of them have an expression of indifference. They have experienced this kind of thing a lot, so it's no big deal.

Emperor Tianqi also knew that this was the only way to go. He waved his hand and said, "The affairs of the Military Aircraft Department will be settled in this way! The cabinet will follow the cabinet to write a charter, and I will decide it after I have a look. As for the Minister of Military Aircraft, all you dear ministers should go back and think about it." , the next court meeting will elect a cabinet minister. But let me tell you what I said earlier, this military minister is different from a cabinet scholar. He is not limited to civil and military, and those who are capable will live. Retire!" After speaking, the Emperor Tianqi stood up and left go out.

All the ministers in the hall stood up, and they all lost the excited look just now, as if they were not the ones arguing just now.

Sun Chengzong, who stood at the top, had a smile on his face. Emperor Tianqi had already discussed the establishment of the Military Aircraft Office with the cabinet scholars and the six ministers in private.Although the quarrel was serious, the highest official position was Zuo Du Yu Shi Yang He.

However, Sun Chengzong discovered a very interesting person, and that was Yuan Chonghuan in the military department.Although he is only a fifth-rank official, no one dares to underestimate this official position, it is the emperor's close servant.It seems that Emperor Tianqi put Yuan Chonghuan in this position, and he also had considerations!Sun Chengzong thought so.

"Master Yuan, I wonder if we can talk to the old man?" Sun Chengzong looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a smile and said.

Unexpectedly, it was Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly saluted: "I have seen your lord, I don't know if you have any inquiries, I will definitely know everything, and I will say everything."

Facing Sun Chengzong, the No. 1 official in the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan did not dare to salute at all, and stood aside with a slight bow, waiting for Sun Chengzong to ask questions.

The ministers walking on the road looked at this side intentionally or unintentionally, and Sun Chengzong's words and deeds were very attention-grabbing.However, Sun Chengzong was not interested, he stretched out his hand to help Yuan Chonghuan up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Yuan, you don't need to be polite, I just want to talk to you about the affairs of the Military Aircraft Department."

"Your Excellency is far-sighted, and the lower officials don't dare to use the axe!" Yuan Chonghuan had never had contact with Sun Chengzong, so he was a little afraid to speak at this time.

"Master Yuan, this old man is not a person who can't tolerate others. It's okay for Mr. Yuan to say what he thinks. I don't seem to be satisfied with Mr. Yuan. I'm willing to listen to you!" Sun Chengzong seemed to have no intention of letting Yuan Chonghuan go, with a smile on his face and eyes He squinted slightly at Yuan Chonghuan.

It was really hard to push it away, so Yuan Chonghuan naturally wouldn't push it anymore, and said with a smile: "Since my lord is so happy with this, why don't I let the lower officials play host, and find a place where the lower officials can have a good chat with my lord?" Yuan Chonghuan was also relying on courage at this time , looked at Sun Chengzong cautiously.

"That's it! If Mr. Yuan doesn't dislike it, then go to the old man!" Sun Chengzong smiled, looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said.

"You can't ask for it!" Not everyone can go to Sun Chengzong's mansion, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly agreed. (To be continued..)
